The scenario for this special form of wave trapping, which involves what we call relativistic turning acceleration (RTA), is as follows. Assuming that whistler mode wave packets are excited at the equator and propagate away from the equator, then a small fraction of electrons approaching the equator will be trapped.

Equator results in efficient energization of the trapped particles. The opposite holds for the case, when there is a resonance turning point.
